There’s a nostalgic aspect to lots of music. The errors we grew up with do become nostalgic. (And other sounds—what kind of a dead-hearted monster doesn’t get a little happy to hear the first couple seconds of GSM interference noise? It’s so jaunty, how has nobody worked that into some techno?). It reminds us of how things were when we were so cool that we could only afford junk.

Nostalgia is cheap of course, but some times cheap things make us happy and that’s fine.

It has been worked into a tune! Love this artist (Venjent), he takes a lot of random samples like that and turns them into EDM tunes.

Similarly, Mistabishi's Printer Jam from 2009 sounds much like you might expect from the title.

Venjent slaps, and this is his best track (imo).

His door genre deserves recognition too.
